hello... its been a really tiring day... *yawns*
woke up so late today, was almost late, had to rush like mad to get breakfast... :$ all thanks to the late nite chat session i had with yuan, cm, yh, claire and weixin... haha, hadn't chat in ages, was quite fun and worth it to stay up so late... :)
was shagged the next day... konked out during optometry lecture... but from the bits i heard, it was quite good... was about the eye and colors, like why colors exist, how they help us see things, segement things. we also got a sense of how color blind pple view the same images... its truly sad, they totally miss out on a certain wavelengths of light, and that affects everything they see. and the sad thing is they learn those supposed colors from young anyway...
the second lecture was something on genetic diseases... was about menke's disease. this speaker was boring i must say... but the contents of his lecture was interesting. understood how a single gene could cause a whole lot seemingly unrelated symptons... :P
after lunch, was our pract!! was so fun, gotta do eye dissection! :) we had to remove all the fats and muscles round the eye, which was extremely sticky, kept sticking to our gloves, haha... then after that, had to cut open the eye carefully, so that the liquid doesn't spurt out. thankfully i had good hands, so the eye was nicely cut... the vitreous humor was a nice jelly state, so the eye was from a young animal! :) after we removed the lens, i squished it while playing with it... oops! :$ then, my partner decided it was fun to squash the vitreous humour, and i decided to make a patty out the muscles and fats. was really funny... :P
the next pract was less interesting, but we got to see many pple's eyes and test vision and stuff, was still very engaging... :) how i wish practs back home were this fun! :D
free time after that was spent playing comp with nick... :P
after dinner was a visit to some science center thingie... was quite interesting... there were many exhibits, and i've got many pictures of them... an interesting one was this house where they simulate an earthquake. u stand in the house and press a button and it starts shaking like mad... :P haha, but in general its the pretty stuff, think our science center is comparable. was pretty sure the sports section there, i've seen it somewhere before.
oh, must complain about this stupid china mama... wah lao, she was critisizing me to me! wth... stupid girl... *rolleyes*
and today, tom, the camp coordinator insisted we try to make 3 new friends... well, think i made 2. johnson and ratti... and i did try to talk to more pple i dunno... haha... :)
